Tasting Note

The Ultreia ‘Saint Jacques’, which takes its name from the Camino de Santiago, is an excellent introduction to the Raúl Pérez range and offers great value. Floral and fruit-driven on the nose, aromas of raspberries and blackberries burst out of the glass. Fine-grained tannins on the palate with a lifted acidity that drives the juicy berry fruit onto the crisp finish.
